Weather radar glitch

[Korina]

@davidpolgreen Hi, I do not see any rainfall disappearing at the moment, but it could be caused by temporary connection issue or maintenance of radar.

@korina OK - this is what I mean. If you look at the second photo much of the detail has disappeared

I have the same issue the weather radar clears much of the rain before the recomposition, watching a replay of the last hour shows rain imminent but on the last screen it clears before the final recomposition.

The Met office (UK) clunky weather app shows rain imminent.

It doesn’t always happen.

This has been happening for a few weeks. Today is a good example:

@elbows Yes thanks for illustrating it better than I did! I wonder if we’ll get a response from admin.

@davidpolgreen Hello, please report us when this happens again, we will investigate it.

In this case it seems that problem is that we had outdated image for the Great Britain. Stripes mean that the data was not refreshed for longer time. In that situation when other radar in composite has new data (French in this case), it is placed over the outdated image. So if it happens again, we should investigate the cause of data outage.
We were also thinking about other solution for similar situations - allow users to dislpay only one data source instead of composite. In this case you would get outdated GB radar, but without the glitch.

@davidpolgreen @Cavok-3 @Elbows Hello, we have made some changes and the radar visualization should not disappear anymore till it updates.
